• Today's refereeing is embarassing. C'mon, Sepp, time to make sure your refs see what your global TV audience is seeing! #WorldCup #
  • Wonderful strike by Arjen Robben! I'll have to show that one to my sons tonight. Go Dutch! #WorldCup #
  • Beautiful touch and pass from Kuyt; nice finish from Sneijder. Two lovely goals from the Dutch. Looking good for the quarters. #WorldCup #
  • A little consolation for the Slovaks with Vittek's last-second penalty goal, making him the Slovak goalscoring record-holder. #WorldCup #
  • Ruud Gullit is apprehensive about a possible Netherlands-Brazil quarterfinal, because of chances conceded today. But I can't wait. #WorldCup #
  • Textbook header goal from Juan off a Maicon corner. Poor marking by the Chileans. Another one to show the boys. Brazil 1, Chile 0. #WorldCup #
  • Do Dunga's Brazilians lack flair? Kaka's pass to spring Luis Fabiano looked pretty slick to me! Brazil 2, Chile 0. #
  • Chile's looking better, but Robinho's goal has seemingly already sealed their fate. They're going for a goal. I hope they get it. #WorldCup #
  • Brazil just too much for Chile. The Dutch will have their work cut out for them. #WorldCup #
  • Great quarterfinals looming: Netherlands vs. Brazil, Germany vs. Argentina. #WorldCup #
  • My son is rooting for Brazil today, but says a Dutch win is okay if Van Persie gets the winning goal. #WorldCup #
  • Soft middle for the Dutch defense, split by Robinho. Time for the Orange to play total football. #WorldCup #
  • Why are the Dutch hanging around midfield leaving Robben and Van Persie surrounded by blue shirts? #WorldCup #
  • And just when I was thinking that Sneijder needed to become more of a force in the game, he manufactures a goal out of nowhere. #WorldCup #
  • Rare miscue by the Brazilian defense, getting in Julio Cesar's way. #WorldCup #
  • Own goal? By the merest of touches … #WorldCup #
  • Sneijder! Beautiful second-touch header goal off a corner. Kuyt had the first touch. Can Brazil get it right back off a free kick? #WorldCup #
  • Nice defending from the Dutch. Twice into the box, twice headed out. #
  • Brazil are 30-0-2 when leading at halftime at the Cup. Will this be a historic game? #WorldCup #
  • Wow. The ref just handed Felipe Melo a red card — and it's justified. Replay shows him stamping on Robben! #WorldCup #
  • The drama! Sneijder foiled by teammate Julio Cesar. Brazil responds. Huitinga beaten at midfield. Kaka runs, dribbles–shoots wide.#WorldCup #
  • Kuyt — beautiful run, dribbling, stopped at the edge of the box. Can Brazil, down to 10, regain its composure in time? #WorldCup #
  • Free kick to Brazil just outside the box. Will they …? #WorldCup #
  • Right into the wall. Off Van Bommel's head. Almost to 90 minutes … #WorldCup #
  • Only two minutes of added time left … #WorldCup #
  • Julio Cesar taking the kick at midfield … Nothing doing. #WorldCup #
  • Last minute of extra time. Huntelaar and Robben thwarted in the box. Save by the Dutch. Seconds left only … #WorldCup #
  • Done. Brazil is done, and the Dutch are through! My only regret — I feel bad for Dunga. His team let him down. #WorldCup #
  • Incredible strike to end the half 1-0 in Ghana's favor over Uruguay. And by a player who was almost sent home! #WorldCup #
  • The Guardian minute-by-minute calls that shot "ludicrously long range." #WorldCup #
  • @_waterman Single-volume or volumes A & B? in reply to _waterman #
  • It's a big day for Inter Milan: Sneijder stars in the morning, and Muntari is the man of the match so far this afternoon. #WorldCup #
  • @nycdlq The manuscript is like the Dutch in the second half. Coming together. in reply to nycdlq #
  • Another star steps up: Uruguay's Diego Forlán puts one in over the Ghanaian wall to level the score. Beauty. #WorldCup #
  • What a finish! Oh the cruelty of sport. What an implausible script. Ghana's star Gyan had the semis on his foot.#WorldCup #
  • The youngest team in the tournament — Ghana — cracked under pressure. But it was a noble run. #worldcup #
  • At least now I can root for the Dutch without mixed feelings. #WorldCup #
  • I love how multicultural the young German team is. And they're off to a good start. #WorldCup #
  • The German back line is always straight and disciplined. The Argentines — less so. 2-1 Germany. #worldcup #
  • Youngsters: watch the Argentine defense — to learn what not to do! #WorldCup #
  • Which is more impressive? The 4 or the 0? Germany looks formidable! #worldcup #
  • Thrilling finale to the Spain-Paraguay match! The sports gods are getting very creative with the PK as a narrative device. #worldcup #
  • Enjoying pleasingly cheesy Single A baseball — Brooklyn Cyclones vs SI Yankees — on Coney Island. A bit like being in Iowa. #
